I will answer, but just read this first. What I want is a community in which threads don't get out of hand with hostilities. I want a community where moderators are the ones who deal with disruptions, not members. I want a community where people see that acting riled up and angry only adds to the drama. I want a community where, if people choose to break rules, they do so accepting that they may get moderated for doing so. I want a forum where people take responsibility in making this an enjoyable place for all of us.

I'm not saying I want a community where everyone agrees, but where even if you strongly disagree with someone, you do so in an orderly fashion () with the rules of the forum in mind. I do want more high road kind of thinking.

Just thinking out loud now. I know this probably sounds like a boring, impossible utopia to most.

As the community is now, I don't think Sopsych can continue to post as he does without stirring hostilities against him. I don't hold him personally responsible for the fact that his posts will generate anger in others if he's not doing that with intent, but from a practical point of view, his presence is a disturbance, like a crow in a hen house.

It puts the moderators in a pickle I do not wish on them. Sometimes, all your alternatives may seem like bad choices.
